For what it's worth (this is *not* a democracy), I like apply better as
well. "action" to declare; "apply" to refer. There's then no
possibility that someone will attempt to create an action "inline" in a
match directive; the syntax of reference is 'keyword barename' while
the syntax of declaration is 'keyword uniquename activities'. Different
keywords makes it unambiguous for humans; can't use declaration syntax
where reference keyword is used.
I looked at your tests, Gilles, and was hopeful because they all use
'apply'. I found that easier to understand. However ... chances are, if
the tests were created early, that others have already argued in favor
of using the same keyword for declarations and references.
